April 26th Fired the cannon at the fort!

I was asked to join the cannon crew at the Fort today-  We practiced twice, then I got to be on the crew for three firings!  I actually lit the cannon.  Pretty cool!  I also drilled twice with the musket firing team, but that will take more effort.  

We fired the small cannon out on the front lawn, because the firing supervisor had hurt his knee earlier in the week, and couldn't climb the stairs to the gun deck.
